Jan. 6th is a perfect reason to always avoid political protest crowds

When you are there, you are not in control. No one is, in fact. The mob mindset is in control, and in the blink of an eye it can turn chaotic. A crowd is its own entity, separate from the individuals comprising it. A crowd can be controlled and directed far better than an individual can. It can be spooked and provoked, as you see here. Flash-bang type explosives are here used to turn the crowd into a roiling mob, and boy did that mob roil. Avoid mass political protests, because the puppet masters will surely be on scene to marionette the crowd to its liking.

The four horsemen of the stupid apocalypse

Conformity, obsequience, inattention, apathy. There are others, but I believe these capture the tragic flaws of our cultural epoch. Not that these traits haven’t always been with us, but they appear more pronounced now, more dominant, because too few people have the character to offset these ugly, atavistic drives. The tragedy of our species is our infinite potential combined with our bottomless capacity for sabotaging ourselves and others. We were meant for the stars, but we are held back, forcibly mired in a cultural tar pit, the primal ooze, and unable to attain escape velocity. We have the key to paradise within our grasp, but abandon it in a vain effort to reach every new mirage we see in the distance. And now we have arrived at a crossroads. Down into a sub-animal slavery, or forward and upward to our birthright as a species. Per Ardua Ad Astra

Local cops take down crybully ATF agent

Reposting this video with commentary. I really enjoy sitting back and watching this video in its entirety solely for the cathartic effect. Here we have an ATF agent attempting to break down the door of a woman and children, harassing them as the ATF are wont to do, and believing he is totally above the law. Remember, these are the garbage humans responsible for Waco, Ruby Ridge, and a host of other incidents. They apparently hire based on personality type: lacking in empathy, willingness to inflict terror, sadism, et cetera. Well this tubby bastard experienced the shock of his life when these cops arrived on the scene, taking the dirtbag down. Just listen to him wail from the squad car, as the neighbors are interviewed, and who recount the agent’s scumbag behavior before the police arrived. Spectacular.
